Arriving at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) after a long flight should be the start of a comfortable journey. However, the time spent waiting for a taxi can vary with your terminal, flight arrivals and passenger demand. For families, business travelers and passengers carrying several bags, an uncertain taxi line can make the final part of the trip more tiring.

A CDG private chauffeur transfer gives you an alternative: arrange your vehicle and pick-up before traveling. With First Class Partner, your chauffeur coordinates your arrival, welcomes you with a name sign at the agreed meeting point, helps with your luggage and takes you to your destination in a premium vehicle.

We provide journeys to Paris, Melun, Versailles, Évry-Courcouronnes, Nanterre, Bobigny, Créteil, Cergy, Disneyland Paris and Fontainebleau, as well as other destinations in Île-de-France and across France.

We are available 24/7 by reservation. Get a quote and book your private chauffeur.

Avoid the CDG Taxi Line with a Pre-Booked Transfer

Waiting at the taxi rank adds another stage to your journey after baggage claim and arrival formalities. Booking a private car service lets you organize that stage in advance, with a vehicle selected for your group and luggage.

No need to join the airport taxi line.
A meeting point coordinated with your arrival terminal.
Premium vehicles with comfortable seating and luggage space.
A fare communicated and agreed before pick-up.

A pre-booked transfer avoids the taxi queue, but it does not remove the time needed for immigration, baggage collection, walking to the meeting point or road traffic. Share your flight details and allow enough time for any onward train or flight.

Private Chauffeur Pick-Ups at CDG Terminals

When booking your Charles de Gaulle Airport private chauffeur transfer, provide your flight number and arrival terminal. Pick-ups can be arranged for the terminal shown on your flight confirmation:

T1 · 2A · 2B · 2C · 2D · 2E · 2F · 2G · 3

Your chauffeur will confirm the appropriate meeting point. Terminal assignments and airport arrangements can change, so follow your airline’s latest arrival information and the instructions supplied for your booking.

Private Transfers to and from Orly Airport

First Class Partner also offers private chauffeur transfers at Paris-Orly Airport, covering Orly 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Arrange a journey between CDG and Orly, an airport-to-hotel transfer or a pick-up from your home or business address. Tell us your terminal, flight details, number of passengers and luggage requirements. For connections between airports, allow a suitable margin for arrival procedures and traffic.

Transfers to Paris Train Stations and Regional Destinations

A private chauffeur can connect your airport arrival with the main Paris and regional train stations:

Gare du Nord: Eurostar and other rail connections.
Gare de Lyon: journeys toward southeastern France, the Alps and international destinations.
Gare Montparnasse: connections to western and southwestern France.
Gare de l’Est: eastern France and international services.
Gare Saint-Lazare: connections toward Normandy.
Gare d’Austerlitz: regional and long-distance services.
Gare de Bercy: trains and nearby coach connections.
Massy TGV: national rail connections south of Paris.
Charles de Gaulle Airport Terminal 2 TGV Station: connections within the airport.
Marne-la-Vallée Chessy: rail access to Disneyland Paris.

Share your train number, departure time and any connection requirements when booking. A direct road transfer can simplify traveling with luggage, but journey times remain dependent on traffic.

The price depends on your destination, vehicle and service requirements. Private chauffeur fares are quoted for the journey booked.

Compare the complete service and fare before choosing.
